    When I see it with my 'platinum discount' it makes this very tempting...

    I found it very hard to find a shop that stocked the 620 when over last month, bestbuy list it but no stores had it. I would check ahead to make sure you can pick one up.

    Edit: don't forget sales tax on top of RRP at 6-9%

    Do you expect it to work differently because it is from wiggle than the one you're getting from AKW? :confused:

    How do you find the swim metrics? Does it detect different strokes or rest times and how accurate did you find the measurement?

    Any chance to test the new run metrics? This was the big thing I was hoping for in the V800 updates myself, wonder how useful people will find having the extra run data?

    Where did the rumors of Wiggle getting stock from US come from?

    Run metrics on the 620 is great, I had it down as a gimmick when buying the watch but find it very useful now.

    Very interested to see the ground contact time based on what you said about differences between shoes and contact time.

    It's caused a bit of consternation in Garmin as there is no stock in Europe for distribution and the only territory that has received early stock is the US. It would be interesting (curiosity) if there was a way to do a reverse search on serial numbers.

    Significant information that I get each day from calls with Garmin is updated to my pre-orders so they know what is happening. So I would ultimately be the source of that story.

    At the end of the day it is a global company (Wiggle) exercising it's buying power.

    From the Garmin forums and DCrainmakers blog you can see many have got 920XT's all over Europe and not all from Wiggle also it appears

    They can be picked up at major races - stands at international marathons and Ironmen races. All of these though are pre-waterproofing changes.

    AFAIK and not taking away from anyone, these are all initial seeding units direct from China and were not on general release through distribution channels. The 920 is yet to be launched through retail and the European HQ has not received stock from China yet (again AFAIK).

    There is one outlet that is to have 60 days exclusivity in the UK market this has not kicked in yet, and Ireland are thankfully excluded from this agreement so Irish stores will receive stock at the same time as the UK exclusive.

    Everything is 4th & 5th hand by the time it gets to me (through official channels I have to add) so the game is likely changed by the time it washes through.

    Anyways, enjoy the new toys, you lucky duckers!! :)
